My new wheels showed up this week. They are iForged "Astra" in 19/20 with brushed centers and polished lips. Tires are Nitto Invo in 285-19 fronts, 345-20 rears. Today I also replaced all the blue interior parts with black parts. Next week the '08 hood goes on.

Got rid of the smurfy blue steering wheel and parking brake:

Here are some pics with the Viper's new sibling, my daily-driver.

What happened to the white wheels? Your new rims look nice but I sure did like the white wheels on your car. To be honest that was and still to this day is the only car I've seen pull off the painted wheel thing. I normally hate painted wheels...but you didn't buy them for me...LOL

Still looks nice...

How long was your wait? I just ordered a set of IForged

2 months. Typical wait for them. I'm a dealer.

Juli, I've purchased the factory 2008 hood, it is being painted right now. Just needs the stripes and it is done.

NICE~!! :2tu: Can I ask who is painting it and striping it? You'll love it!
(I mis-read your post, I thought you were talking about the TOP/roof...lol...hence why I said the 'bubble-top'...forgive me!) ~juli

Those wheels look alright but break out the tooth brush when cleaning those small bolts...for myself and I am sure others will agree.....its a PITA! Other than that, enjoy....smart looking wheel.

White wheels are for sale. $2,000 plus shipping. If you don't like white, you can always powdercoat them some other color for ~$300-400.

19x10 and 20x13 CCW SP600 wheels. They cost me over $3,000 new.

Great looking wheels. I'm keeping my stock wheels as I am thinking about selling my Viper and getting an 09 in the spring. Stock sells best. But, if I don't sell it, I think I will get those same wheels. They look great. :2tu:

Wheels arrived 2 months after I ordered them. About average based on the several sets I've ordered through iForged. I ordered a set of HRE wheels for the Z06 last week, will see how long those take and compare.

Nine ball, if you don't mind weighing the CCW wheels, I'd like to know how much they weigh. I would be interested in the wheels only if they are light than the stock wheels.

I love the new Astras!!

I may be interested in your white wheels. If possible, could you please post up some pics of the wheels?

These cars look familiar from a similiar post recently on the Corvette Forum. Like your
cars and wheels too.
